摘要
Nonlinear optics deals with numerous physical phenomena associated with nonlinear cubic susceptibility. In this paper, we have proposed an all-optical switching principle using Kerr effect considering the passage of optical wave through a prism made of non-linear material like fused silica. The performances of the optical switch as well as its various properties were also done by numerical simulation. Furthermore, we also proposed all-optical binary-to-Gray and Gary-to-binary (radix 2) code convertor circuits by this proposed architecture. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
